(END SOT) Acknowledging the need to act and act

fast...the five permanent members of
the U.N Security Council and Japan are
discussing ways to punish North Korea
after the nation claimed to have tested
a nuclear weapon.

John Bolton/U.S. Ambassador to the
U.N.

"I think there are substantial areas of
agreement, although there is a hole as
far as the Russians are concerned.

WENDY GILLETTE STANDUP.UNITED NATIONS:

The basis of the discussion is a
proposal by the U.S. It calls for
sanctions designed to cut off resources
needed for North Korea s nuclear
program and its ability to sell
ballistic missile technology.

Even China, North Korea s closest ally,
appears poised to accept at least part
of the sanction plan and says their
neighbor should face punitive actions.

Wang Guangya/China s Ambassador to the
U.N.

"Many of the elements in the 13 point

proposal are good."

This frenzy of meetings and statements
follows North Korea's announcement
Monday that it had successfully tested
a nuclear device. That has not been
independently confirmed, but it hasn t
stopped worldwide condemnation. Adding
fuel to the fire a report that North
Korea could fire a nuclear tipped
missile, if the U.S. didn't act to
resolve the standoff. Washington
rejected the notion of direct talks and
said it s not intimidated by North
Korea 's threats. Wendy Gillette, for
CBS News, at the United Nations.

and we know that high levels of
inflammation in the blood is a risk
factor for having a heart attack :04
that's why we think there's this

HEART ATTACK RISK GOES UP. AND THERE'S
NO INDICATION TREATING THE SKIN

"the absolute risk to an individual is
still pretty low from psoriasis." THAT

MEANS PEOPLE LIKE KERRY CAN TAKE SIMPLE
